udev + custom vanilla kernel - modules - initrd

[Serge de Souza]

Does anyone know how to get FC3 to run with a custom vanilla kernel that 
does not have any modules (hence usage of initrd is not possible) ? I 
tried doing what Harald Hoyer suggested in the Release notes :
mkdir /tmp/dev
mount --move /dev /tmp/dev
sbin/MAKEDEV null console zero
mount --move /tmp/dev /dev

But when the system boots, there are errors when start_dev runs saying 
something like " /dev/pts Not a directory"


All suggestions welcome
